[QUOTE="Craig Hauber, post: 91668, member: 272"] Re: Subs, what to do if you lack excursion? I actually like McD's but the nearest one is almost 80mi away and I haven't had any for over a year :-) Guess I've never been blessed to have a band that has anything that low. -And I am used to making mixes fairly LF-heavy and use a dbx120 regularly as an effect so I know and love 25-30Hz bass. I just don't feel like i [I]need[/I] it always. I've also done 5-string bass for years through just run-of-the-mill EV 18" subs which probably faded fast starting at 45Hz (Like the MTL-4). Artist was happy, audience is happy and so I really guess we don't feel like we are missing anything too awfully important. (I'm doing much better than the average bass amp though) My customers just don't want to pay for deeper bass then they are already getting, nor can my back handle moving it around. If there was a modular solution that I could pile in a whole bunch of easily carried little boxes that worked together as one big one and provided me with that "30Hz joy" then I would probably make more use of it. That little danley dual-8 would be a good size for me for such a module, I can carry little things all day long, but the days of dual-18's or Large hornsubs are over for me. The TH-Mini is also a good size, but it only does mid 40's so I'm no better off than with my Eminence boxes (probably wouldn't need as many of them though :-) [/QUOTE]
